The Time of the End

The Time of the End

"Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." -Daniel 12:9

The "time of the end" has not yet commenced. The approaching presence of our Lord and Master Jesus,
together with world events will, in time, cause the accurate interpretation of prophecy to jump out at us: "Many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased....Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;
but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."
-Daniel 12:4,10.

There is only one who has been found worthy to open the book and reveal its meaning: "And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open
the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." -Revelation 5:5.

The most important thing we need to do in order to understand the prophecies is to identify the entities involved
and the timing of their appearance.   Revelation chapters 13 and 17 both describe a beast that goes into a death-
like state, but revives and causes all the world to be amazed and to worship it, deeming it infallible. (Revelation
13:4) Chapter 17 shows how the mother of the harlots, Babylon the Great, is riding atop the beast and controlling
it. This vision takes place during the "Day of the Lord" (Revelation 1:10), which is associated with the
"harvest", the separation of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46), and so these two entities do not yet
exist in their state depicted in the vision. The beast has ten horns, and according to Revelation 17:12, these
represent ten kings who have "not yet received a kingdom". Let's take a look around us, and what do we
see just over the horizon? A One-World Religion (Babylon the Great) and a One-World Government (The Beast).

We already have the European Union, are well on our way to a North American Union, and these two unions
are the first of ten that are planned by the Club of Rome, a global think tank formed in April 1968 by the
Morgenthau Group, for the purpose of accelerating plans for a New World Order. The Club developed a plan to
divide the world into ten regions or kingdoms. In 1976, the United States Association of the Club of Rome
(USACOR) was formed for the purpose of gradually shutting down the U.S. economy. It is by means of collapsing
the economy that a New World Order can come about, in essence, a foreclosure on the world by the central
banks, with the Federal Reserve leading the way.

At forbiddenknowledge we read: "The Club of Rome is a conspiratorial umbrella organization, a marriage
between Anglo-American financiers and the old Black Nobility families of Europe, particularly the so-called
"nobility" of London, Venice and Genoa. The key to the successful control of the world is their ability to create
and manage savage economic recessions and eventual depressions. The Committee of 300 looks to social
convulsions on a global scale, followed by depressions, as a softening-up technique for bigger things to come, as
its principal method of creating masses of people all over the world who will become its "welfare" recipients
of the future."

Needless to say, those who refuse to worship the image of the Beast will not be receiving their welfare checks!

The People That Do Know Their God

"And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their
God shall be strong, and do exploits." -Daniel 11:32

"Corrupt" can also be translated as "cause to sin", "lead into apostasy", "deceive", "seduce" or "pervert".
"Flatteries" can also be translated "smooth words". A handful of religions, most notably Jehovah's Witnesses,
teach that God's new world will bring an end to human suffering, crime, poverty, pollution, global warming, and
every other conceivable problem. The New World Order essentially makes the same promises. Modern
scientific medicine even claims that one day in the relatively near future it will overcome old age and death.

"Revised" Bibles have been twisted and tweaked just enough to replace Jesus as the only Redeemer and Savior
of man's fallen state and relegate Him to a subordinate back seat behind the "Lord Maitreya".

Daniel 7:8 says the final King on earth will speak "great things"; 8:23 says he will "understand dark sentences"
(ambiguous, deceptive teachings), and verse 25 adds that "through his policy he will cause craft (sorcery) to
prosper in his hand." Jesus said that the cunning craftiness of the false christs would be so thoroughly convincing
that even the "very elect" might be deceived (Matthew 24:24). Indeed, in the last days Satan, posing as the
"angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14) would be "misleading the entire inhabited earth". -Revelation 12:9.

But the people "knowing their God" would not be fooled by any such deceptions. Jesus said: "And this is life
eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3)
They recognize corruptions in God's Word, and they fully understand His Law because it is written "upon their
hearts". (Jeremiah 31:33) They will "do exploits" because they will receive insight, accurate knowledge, and
most importantly, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to empower them. -Joel 2:28,29.

"And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by
flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days." -Daniel 11:33

This is the same thought as conveyed in Daniel 12:3, which says: "And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." But they
would need to be refined, like gold, to remove the dross, to cleanse them and whiten them for the task of
demonstrating the wisdom of God to the principalities in Heaven through the Christian Congregation
(Ephesians 3:10). Why? Ehyeh says: "Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the
furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be
polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another." -Isaiah 48:10,11.

The Beginnings of Sorrows

When will these things happen? They are already happening, but will soon be occurring on a global scale. Daniel
8:14 says that the total time period needed to bring the holy place into its "right condition" would be 2,300 days,
or a period of 6 years and 4 months. This means that the "transgression" of God's New Covenant by the
churches en masse would occur 8 months into the 7-year agreement or "covenant" between the Christian
churches and the One-World Government / Religion. Evidently, it is at this time that those who are
"forsaking the holy covenant" would be in full alliance with the counterfeit kingdom of Satan.

Is there further evidence that the period of tribulation on the holy ones begins before the 42-month rule of the 8th
and final king? Yes! "Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to
them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them
white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed." (Daniel 11:34,35) Jesus elaborated on
this in His Mount Olivet prophecy of Matthew chapter 24, in verses 4-8, saying:

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come
to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Have we seen these signs yet? Yes, there are already various false christs running around in the world deceiving
people. To a degree, the beginnings of these signs occurred nearly a century ago in October of 1914, but that was
a massive deception by Satan! It was a false alarm carried out through the Satanic bloodlines of the Illuminati! It
was one of the means by which God allowed an "operation of error", a "strong delusion" to certain factions of
Christianity (2 Thess. 2:11), most notably the Watchtower Society. The incessant preaching of the "end" before
it's really the end is what causes "Chicken Little" naysayers and the "boy who cried wolf" ridiculers to say
"where is this promised coming of the Messiah"? (2 Peter 3:4) This was only a preview of what is to come on a
global scale. (See the essay "Man of Lawlessness".) There are other strong delusions already prevalent in the
churches today, which will be expanded upon in future essays. The real beginning of the pangs of distress will
take place when Satan is hurled out of heaven and the world is cast into the third and final (orchestrated) world
war which will result in the establishment of a world government:

"In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar;
and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
-Daniel 10:1 (ASV) I will elaborate on this great war later on in this essay.

He Shall Magnify Himself Above Every God

"And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and
shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for
that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor
regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." -Daniel 11:36,37.

The "God of his fathers" was the True God of the Bible. The "desire of women" refers to those who worship and
are in subjection to their God, spiritual Israel. In Hebrew, the word "marvelous" is nephloot, meaning
wonderful, admirable or miraculous. It even suggests the fantastic and wondrous: that which is unfathomable to
the rational mind, which would perceive it as a wonder or a mystery.

"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." -2 Thessalonians 2:4.

The "temple of God" is the Body of Christ, the Christian Congregation. It is not necessarily a literal temple,
although it appears that the Temple of Solomon will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, and there will most likely be a
typical, literal fulfillment of this prophecy. The point is, don't be unaware of the final king sitting down among us
while we are waiting for the climactic abominations in the rebuilt temple!
(See this informative essay on the Antichrist.)

"And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the
east, and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the
host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.   Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the
host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the
ground; and it practised, and prospered." -Daniel 8:9-12.

The "Little Horn" is the 8th and Final King of Revelation 17:11, who rises up out of the "abyss": "And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition." What this
means is that the final king is a resurrection of a previous king. Many have interpreted this as a resurrection of
the Roman Empire, and this is partially true, because the final king will be reminiscent of the iron-fisted rulers of
Papal Rome. As we have seen with the Club of Rome, and with Washington D.C. also known as "Rome on the
Potomac", the old Roman Empire is alive and well. It will be revived on a global scale, ruling by tyranny and
imposing Inquisition and death upon anyone who refuses to worship it. But it cannot represent the Roman Empire
alone, because the angel who gave John the vision said that the beast "is not", and the Roman Empire was ruling
at the time of the vision. But since the Revelation doesn't specify which of its seven heads revives from the
death-stroke, many believe it to be the 7th Anglo-American head or the 6th head of Rome. Others point out that
Isaiah spoke of the final king as an Assyrian, represented by the second head. Obviously, we need to look
further back than the time of John.

Prior to the flood of Noah, demons had materialized into human form. Afterwards, they were thrown into the
prison-state of Tartarus, where they no longer had that ability. They will be released from the "abyss", and this
final king will have at his beckon call hordes of demonic "locusts" (Revelation 9:1-11). According to this account,
his name is Abaddon/Apollyon, the Destroyer, and he is king over the locusts. This Abaddon/Apollyon is not the
same entity as the "star that fell from heaven" with the key to the abyss that releases them. That is none other
than Jesus Christ, who has the key to the abyss at Revelation 20:1-3, where he binds Satan for a thousand years.
Abaddon/Apollyon apparently rises from the abyss simultaneously with the locusts, and in this way he may
actually be a hybrid human/demon indwelt by Satan himself, with his system being a revival of the pre-flood
conditions. This is how he may be able to "rise above the stars of heaven" (Isaiah 14:13), and actually throw
down the heavenly sanctuary by his actions (Daniel 8:11), albeit temporarily.
(See this interesting article, "Who is the Destroyer?")

Given this Satanic element of power, with none of his power being his own (Daniel 8:24; (Habakkuk 1:11), the
Beast will be a combination of all the heads, having distinct qualities and components of each, because Revelation
17:11 depicts the entire beast coming back to life from a death-like state, when he is granted authority by Ehyeh
to rule for 42 months:

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to
continue forty and two months.   And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and
his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.   And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." -Revelation 13:5-7.

The God of Forces

"But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with
gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things." -Daniel 11:38.

The Illuminati use ritual magic en masse in order to bring about cultural and political upheavals. This
includes the use of talismans, hand signals, and images. Texe Marrs, in his book "Codex Magica" comments:

"...talismans, images, and symbols—and hand and body signs and the positions and prescribed actions of body
parts—will "partake of the nature of a spirit or elemental." In other words, spirits are attracted and supposedly
go to work on behalf of the person who wears or displays the magical talisman, charm, image, idol, or symbol, or
who practices and puts into operation a particular hand sign, handshake, body movement, or position, or ritual,
whether that ritual is simple or sophisticated.

"The more sophisticated and complex rituals and the more detailed, intricate, and powerful is the design of the
talisman, symbol, hand sign, etc., the more likely a higher level entity—a being higher on the spiritual totem pole
or pecking order so to speak—will be induced to participate in performing the desired magical act. That is,
the greater the force of magic that will be applied. A great Entity, perhaps a prince or other high-up territorial
potentate in the demonic spiritual realm, is naturally thought to possess the power to force changes in the real
world. It is no accident that in the Bible, the last day, endtimes world ruler and his earthly human companions
are said, to worship the 'God of Forces.'"

Ishtar, the goddess of the Tower, may very well be the "Mother of the Harlots" in Revelation 17:5. She is found
throughout the scriptures, as the Canaanite Ashtoreth, the "Queen of Heaven" in Jeremiah 7:18, and as
"Diana of Ephesus" in Acts 19:28. Though her identity changes, her purpose never does. She is the great
"virgin queen" who gives birth to an immortal redeemer. She is Satan’s counterfeit of the Bible’s story of
redemption.

The Babylonian Semiramis, under the name of Astarte, was known as "the tower goddess." In "The Two
Babylons", Alexander Hislop wrote: "Now, no name could more exactly picture forth the character of
Semiramis, as the queen of Babylon, than the name of Asht-tart', for that just means ‘The woman that made
towers.’ Thus, in the Hebrew, this is the meaning of the goddess Ashtoreth."

Commenting on the Greek (where "tart" becomes "turis") he added: "Turis is just the Greek form of Turit,
the final t, according to the genius of the Greek language, being converted into s. Ash-turit, then, which is
obviously the same as the Hebrew ‘Ashtoreth,’ is just ‘The woman that made the ‘encompassing wall’."

She was the ancient goddess of "towers" or "surrounding fortifications." Hislop noted occasions during ancient
Greek history when the people appealed to her to protect their city when it was being threatened. Ancient statues
of the goddess were cast with the figure of a tower upon their heads. They were tower goddesses, or goddesses of
the fortress, to whom was attributed the power to protect a city or an empire.

In Greek she was known as Artemis, but in reality she was Ashtoreth or Astarte. According to Acts chapter 19,
Paul's preaching of the gospel threatened the livelihood of the guild of silversmiths, who were casting souvenir
goddesses from silver to be purchased by the faithful who made pilgrimages to her temple. This ancient goddess
from the land of Shinar was considered to be the chief protector and defender of the empire.

The Roman goddess Diana was considered just as powerful an image as any of her predecessors. In
the centuries following the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, she faded into obscurity and was considered as
good as dead. But today, with the resurgence of the New Age and pagan superstition, she is springing back
to life, and millions are once again calling for the protection of the tower goddess.

The word "fortress" is from maozim, meaning "fortresses." The same word is used in verse 39:

"Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and
increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."

From "The Keys of This Blood," by Malachi Martin, page 493:

"….John Paul is following a timetable he asserts has been established in Heaven; and he fully presumes
that what he does and they do will succeed only if it conforms to the foretold sequence of historical events he
confidently ascribes to a woman he, along with other millions, venerates under the symbol of her "heart"
(emphasis mine) – they call it the Immaculately Sinless Heart of Mary."

The King of the South and the "Pushing"

"And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him." -Daniel 11:40a

Since the false-flag event of 9/11/01, the United States (and the UK) have been "pushing" their way through the
Middle East. America has also "pushed" Russia by building missile defense systems in many strategic locations
that were once part of the Soviet bloc. Vladimir Putin compared George W. Bush's regime to the Third Reich",
and the Cold War has been renewed thanks to American aggression for global dominance as outlined in the
mission statement of the Project For a New American Century.

On September 11, 1991 (the date not a coincidence) President George H. W. Bush gave an historic speech during
which he announced that the world was on the verge of the dawning of a new world order. This was the end of a
nuclear standoff known as the "Cold War" that lasted for 40 years. Now the world could breathe a collective sigh
of relief that the dark hovering cloud of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was no longer menacing mankind
and threatening his very existence. The US and its once formidable superpower rival even began
working together to fight global terrorism.

But as quickly as the Soviet Union collapsed, the United Nations emerged from impotence to global prominence.
No longer just a forum to trade insults and disseminate propaganda, the UN would take dramatic steps
towards its role as the world's enforcer of international rules. Since then, the world's political scene has changed
significantly. The nations are no longer polarized into two camps, aligned with either with the USSR or the USA.
The world is now becoming increasingly unified, and the result has been economic and military domination by the
USA. With just a solitary superpower, a world government is dramatically more feasible, and it is indeed
becoming a reality.

Since sanctioning war against Saddam Hussein for refusing to withdraw his troops from Kuwait, the United
Nations has been functioning more as an independent world government, which was the original intent of its
founders. An example of the UN's increased role in world affairs is the empowerment of the
International Criminal Tribunal .

Just over ten years after the demise of the USSR, rather than announcing a new world order, President George
W. Bush announced a new enemy of the world, labeling it the "Axis of Evil". Now, with the overwhelming
military superiority of the Anglo-American-Zionist alliance pitted against the so-called Axis of Evil, and rumors
of new wars and frequent acts of terrorism around the world, the King of the North stands poised to make a final
all-out push to bring in the real New World Order. How does the King of the North react to the pushing of the
King of the South?

"...the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many
ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over." -Daniel 11:40b

Chinese-Russian-Muslim Invasion of the United States

Americans are oblivious to the fact that their nation has gradually been wired to implode just like the
Twin Towers were rigged to turn to dust at near free-fall speed. Not a single aspect of the Bush regime's official
story of the events of September 11, 2001 stands up to reality. According to them, the laws of the physical
universe ceased to exist on that fateful day. (Satan is misleading the entire inhabited earth, Revelation 12:9)
Download Vatican Assassins by Eric Jon Phelps, or Google some of his videos for all you need to know about
what Ehyeh's sanctioned executor of judgment is about to unleash on America, and the entire inhabited earth to
follow. But rather than get into a 911 conspiracy tirade, or present mountains of evidence such as this one about
the coming Communist occupation of North America (and most likely the world) why not just let Ehyeh tell us
what's in store for America, who has elevated herself ?

By Ehyeh's inspiration, the prophet Ezekiel devoted four chapters to America's downfall. Fittingly, the various
trees in the Garden of Eden were used to symbolize the nations of the earth, that is, up until God's Kingdom
comes to rule. Egypt represents the dominant nation and therefore the largest and most luxurious tree, under
which many different national groups and even the wild animals find refuge and shelter. When the appointed time
comes for God's Kingdom to take over, the trees that exist by God's planting will be cut down, beginning with the
largest tree, the effects of which will be felt sharply around the world. Ezekiel 31:15-18 indicates that all of the
trees in the symbolic Garden of God will be laid low in the common grave of mankind (hell) as the
resulting domino effect of the felling of the greatest tree:

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep
for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for
him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast
him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all
that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.   They also went down into hell with him unto
them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the
heathen. To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou
be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD."

“All the trees of Eden” is a reference to all the nations of the world, but when Egypt was conquered by
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, neither Egypt nor the nations came to an end. Therefore, the prophecy is telling of a
future event when all the nations go into the "nether parts of the earth.

"He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape." -Daniel 11:42

At Ezekiel 31:8,9 we see that all the other nations are incomparable to the majesty and luxuriousness of the
towering Egyptian cedar:

"The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees
were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.   I have made him
fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him."

To accomplish this task of carrying out judgment on the nations, Ehyeh sanctions an imperial "woodcutter" to fell
the nations before the Battle of Armageddon, where the tyrant himself falls to the Rightful King of all the nations,
Jesus Christ. As a result, the nations rejoice, according to Isaiah 14:5-8 --

"The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and
none hindereth.   The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.    Yea, the fir trees rejoice
at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us."

Returning to Ezekiel 31:13,14, we see that Egypt will have no successor: "Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the
heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: To the end that none of all the trees by
the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees
stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth,
in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit."

Early in chapter 32, Ehyeh describes how America's waters have been polluted, both literally and figuratively,
saying: "Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young
lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the
waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over
thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net." -Ezekiel 32:2,3.

The tyrants of the nations will cut down the great cedar: "Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their
kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at
every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.   For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the
king of Babylon shall come upon thee." -Ezekiel 32:10,11.

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon.   He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they
shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.   And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the
land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I
the LORD have spoken it." -Ezekiel 30:10-12

The destruction of the nation-states by the neo-tyrant results from the opening of the 6th seal of Revelation, with
the political luminaries being darkened. Ezekiel uses language very similar to the apocalyptic style of Revelation
when he describes the earth-wide ramifications of the fall of Egypt, saying: "And when I shall put thee out, I will
cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give
her light.    All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the
Lord GOD." -Ezekiel 32:7,8.

Jesus used the same expressions at Matthew 24:29,30 to describe the earth-shaking events that would take place
just before his second coming, saying: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

The Sun Finally Sets on the British Empire

Wikipedia says of the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre: "The commerce of the ancient world was gathered into the
warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and
they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the Aegean Sea, in Greece, on the northern
coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the
pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cádiz)"[11] In the time of King David (c. 1000 BC), a friendly alliance was entered
into between the Kingdoms of Israel and Tyre, who was ruled by Hiram I. The city of Tyre was particularly known
for the production of a rare and extraordinarily expensive sort of purple dye, produced from the murex shellfish,
known as Tyrian purple. This color was, in many cultures of ancient times, reserved for the use of royalty, or at
least nobility."

The heavily-fortified island-city of Tyre was the ancient center of maritime trade, controlling the Strait of
Gibraltar as her ships plied the waters of the North and South Atlantic. The prophet Ezekiel was inspired
to write: "The people of Zidon and Arvad were your boatmen; the wise men of Zemer were in you; they were
guiding your ships; The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight:
all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods." -Ezekiel 27:8,9 (BBE).

Since the early 17th Century, the British Empire has controlled virtually every major waterway in the world, and
countless nations and islands of the sea. By 1900, naval bases were being maintained around the world at
strategic points that allowed Britain to control every waterway on earth. The United Kingdom remains the most
extensive empire that has ever existed.

Amazingly, in a dirge against the King of Tyre, Our Father Ehyeh made it clear to us that it is indeed the British
Empire that harbors the throne of Satan:

"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.   Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that
thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the
midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God:
and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire." -Ezekiel 28:13,14.

The "Garden of God" has a cherubic overlord just as Eden did, and in Ezekiel's prophecy it is the King of Tyre.
Ehyeh is showing us a parallel to Satan because as Paul revealed at Ephesians 3:10, the real rulers of the world
are the wicked spirits in the heavenly places. Satan is depicted as a 7-headed dragon in Revelation because the
earthly political Beast is a reflection of those principalities that emanate from the throne of Satan. The prophecy
in Ezekiel makes the same connection between Satan and the Kingdom of Tyre because they will both be judged
and fall simultaneously.

As the other half of the Anglo-American dyad, the 7th head of the Beast will be overrun by the King of the North
as well. Ezekiel continues: "By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O
covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that
they may behold thee.   Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy
traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes
upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be
astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." -Ezekiel 28:16-19.

Jerusalem Under Attack

"He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape
out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon." -Daniel 11:41.

First it should be noted that we are now inside the final 42 months and the trampling of the holy place. The word
"countries" is an interpolation in the KJV, and many translations render it:
"tens of thousands will be overcome" or "killed". Isaiah prophesied that the glorious land would be flooded over
during judgment day, which is the time of Jesus arrival, and the separation of the sheep and the goats:

"Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on
the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of
mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit
before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up."
-Isaiah 28:1-4.

The prophecy is speaking of the final, all-out assault on the Sons of the Kingdom and all of Christianity: In other
words, The restored Jews who will accept Jesus as per Ezekiel's prophecy, and her offspring, spiritual Israel. The
"glorious land" applies to the Land of Canaan (Ezekiel 20:6), but the Christian congregation that Jesus
established through His ministry becomes, in a spiritual sense, the "glorious land". Jesus asked if He would
really find the faith upon the earth when he returned to inspect the congregations. (Luke 18:8) His inspection
seems to occur at just the right time: The "drunkards of Ephraim" are those who are spiritually intoxicated with
the wine of Babylon. Such is the state of sectarian Christianity today, and Christendom comprises many of the
daughter harlots of Babylon.

How can we be certain that this applies to the time of Jesus? The answer comes a few verses later: "Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a
sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to
the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place."
-vs. 16,17.

The most encouraging aspect of the prophecy comes in verses 5 and 6: "In that day shall the LORD of hosts be
for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, And for a spirit of judgment
to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate."

Two Jerusalems

The churches today claim the title of Israel and all of the Bible's references to an end-time fulfillment upon the
Christian Congregation and the churches. The fact of the matter is that there are many prophecies for Israel that
the modern gentile church or congregation cannot lay claim to. The promises were made to the nation of Israel
and the Jews. This is expanded upon in the next essay, "The Two Jerusalems" but for the moment, consider
these utterances of the Almighty God Ehyeh:

"Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light
by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the LORD of hosts is His name: "If this fixed order departs
from before Me," declares the LORD, "Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before
Me forever." Thus says the LORD, "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth
searched out below, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done," declares the
LORD." -Jeremiah 31:35-37.

We, in understatement to the point of humor, have not yet measured the heavens above or searched out the
depths of the earth, and consequently God has not cast off Israel. Scripture portrays Israel as the wife of God,
purposed to bring forth the children of God, even though she is adulterous and unfaithful. She is initially rejected,
but will later be accepted and restored.

"Behold, the tempest of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a sweeping tempest; it will burst on the head of the
wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back, until He has performed, and until He has accomplished
the intent of His heart; in the latter days you will understand this. "At that time," declares the LORD, "I will be
the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people." Thus says the LORD, "The people who
survived the sword found grace in the wilderness --- Israel, when it went to find its rest." -Jeremiah 30:23-31:2.

"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, bring her into the wilderness, and speak kindly to her. Then I will give her
her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her
youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. And it will come about in that day," declares the
LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi [my husband] and will no longer call Me Baali [my master]." -Hosea 2:14-16.

"Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as
the LORD loves the sons of Israel . . . Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and
David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days." -Hosea 3:1, 5.

"For the LORD has called you, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife of one’s youth
when she is rejected," says your God. "For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will gather
you. In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness I will have
compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer." -Isaiah 54:6-8.

"...and I shall bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I shall enter into judgment with you face to
face...And I shall make you pass under the rod, and I shall bring you into the bond of the covenant."
-Ezekiel 20:35, 37.

"Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth;
nevertheless, I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob," declares the LORD. "For behold, I am commanding,
and I will shake the house of Israel among all nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, but not a kernel will fall to the
ground. All the sinners of My people will die by the sword, those who say, ‘The calamity will not overtake or
confront us.’ In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its
ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are
called by My name," declares the LORD who does this." -Amos 9:8-12.

"I will go away and return to My place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; in their
affliction they will earnestly seek Me. Come, let us return to the LORD, for He has torn us, but He will heal us;
He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day
that we may live before Him." -Hosea 5:15-6:2.

"Now why do you cry out loudly? Is there no king among you, or has your counselor perished, that agony has
gripped you like a woman in childbirth? Writhe and labor to give birth, Daughter of Zion, like a woman
in childbirth . . . Therefore, He will give them up until the time when she who is in labor has borne a child. Then
the remainder of His brethren will return to the sons of Israel." -Micah 4:9-10, 5:3.

The book of Revelation is written specifically to the Christian congregation, but the Hebrew Scriptures are
bursting with prophetic promises to literal Israel which have not been fulfilled. Ehyeh said that He will
never forget His chosen people Israel, yet a largely Gentile Christianity often does. Paul explained the primacy of
the Jewish root from which the Gentile branches receive their life-giving nourishment in Romans Chapter 11. It is
due to the natural branches having been broken off that the Gentile branches can be grafted in and receive the
life that Jesus, who was a Jew, came to offer.

Gentiles are not to be arrogant toward Israel because it is to Israel that the Gentiles owe the privilege of coming
into attachment to the olive tree from the holy root. "If the first piece of dough be holy, the lump is also; and
if the root be holy, the branches are too. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive,
were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant
toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root
supports you." -Romans 11:16-18.

Edom, Moab, and the Sons of Ammon

During the time of the end, the nations are to be judged by how they treat Israel, spiritually and literally, meaning
the Jewish people as well as Christians. Israel and Judah were judged first and then the nations, and in the same
way, judgment will begin with Christianity, followed by the world's assortment of Babylonian religions.
Of all the nations surrounding Israel, Moab, Ammon and Edom were closest in proximity and shared the same
cultural background. In this way we can draw a parallel to the present-day Christian churches. They all share the
same basic beliefs but are divided by sectarianism.

The three main branches of Christendom are Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. The nations of Moab, Ammon
and Edom were directly related to the Israelites.; Moab and Ammon were Lot's two sons and the Edomites were
the descendants of Jacob's twin brother Esau. The descendants of Esau were considered by God to be Jacob's
brother. The Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites and Hebrews were not only close together geographically, but they
shared similar customs and spoke a similar language. Israel was always at odds with them because of religious
differences.

If Edom, Moab, and the Sons of Ammon escape out of his hand, perhaps it is because they have forsaken the holy
covenant and worshiped the Beast!

The Libyans and the Ethiopians

"But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and
the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps." -Daniel 11:43

The only way to interpret prophecy is to let the Bible interpret itself. Notice what Ezekiel 30:5,6 says
about Libya and Ethiopia: "Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of
the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.    Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt
shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword,
saith the Lord GOD."

We have seen that it is the goal of the King of the North to eliminate the nation-state system, and he will use
"ordo ab chao" to accomplish that end. The United States will be forced to scrap its own constitution and
supportive democratic institutions. Remember that Ezekiel foretold that Egypt's foundation would be torn down.
The United Nations is the future administrative headquarters of the imperial New World Order. Once executive
power and military authority is transferred to the United Nations, it will not be reversed,
and America "will not escape."

In the last 30 years, the United States has gone from being the world's most powerful producer nation to the one
having the greatest debt. The rapidly ballooning nine-trillion dollar national debt amounts to over $35,000 per
person! Nearly half of all the publicly-held U.S. debt is in foreign hands.

The U.S. trade deficit, like the national debt, is a nearly completed disaster. The U.S. is plunging deeper into debt
at a record pace. It's only a matter of time before the creditors call in their loans, collapsing the bond and stock
markets as well as the Dollar. Once-proud America and its duped citizens will be reduced to third-world status.
Who will get all the loot? The King of the North. In this way he will "prosper till the indignation be
accomplished".

"Tidings Shall Trouble Him"

"But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to
destroy, and utterly to make away many." -Daniel 11:44

In the Bible, God's own judgments are said to come from the direction of the symbolic north.
Interestingly, Psalms 75:5,6 says: "Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion
cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south." By process of elimination, the north is the
place of exalt, or "promotion". It is no doubt the announcement that the Kingdom of Jesus and has arisen, and
that the sons of the kingdom are performing exploits that constitutes the reports "out of the east and out of the
north," that disturb the king of the north and provoke his great fury to destroy many.

One of the most vivid descriptions of the last king's rage is given in the first chapter of Habakkuk. Note how he
takes possession of residences not belonging to him, and he heaps up dust eerily reminiscent of the dust on
9/11/01 that resulted from the use of Ultra Low-Frequency weapons:

"Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which
ye will not believe, though it be told you.    For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which
shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.   They are terrible
and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.   Their horses also are swifter than the
leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their
horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence:
their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff
at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap
dust, and take it. Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend,
imputing this his power unto his god." -Habakkuk 1:5-11.

He Shall Plant the Tabernacle of His Palace

"And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end, and none shall help him." -Daniel 11:45.

When the last king attacks God's people, he becomes guilty, as Habakkuk 1:11 indicates: "Then shall he sweep
by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, even he whose might is his god." God responds to the attack by
saying: "Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind
to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly."

Once the slaves of God are sealed in the forehead, their loyalty to God cannot and will not be broken and their
salvation is assured. Their remaining faithful to death will transform them into kings, following in the footsteps of
their Lord and Master Jesus Christ. The kingdom now being empowered to carry out God's vengeance on
the last king, we read: "Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and
thou shalt be for booties unto them?   Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall
spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein."
-Habakkuk 2:7,8.

Jesus and those remaining faithful to Him have conquered the earth and have a legal right to rule it, and now they
must hold the neo-Chaldean accountable for his actions.

Jesus once told his apostles that he had many things to tell them but that they were unable to bear the burden at
that time. The future revelation of Jesus Christ will mean that he will fully reveal all the things his followers must
suffer. Many translations of Habakkuk 1:1 say: "The burden that Habakkuk hath seen."

Although Habakkuk was distressed by the appalling vision concerning the future of mankind and Satan's final
solution, his unerring faith in God empowered him to look forward to the fulfillment of the vision, knowing it would
ultimately lead to salvation for God's people. Fittingly then, Habakkuk's burden concludes by saying: "Yet I will
rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my
feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed
instruments." -Habakkuk 3:18,19.

Conclusion

The "Time of the End" is a specific period of three and a half years at the end of the Age. The "time, times and
half a time" appeared in the Hebrew as "‛iddân" ("id-dawn'") at Daniel 7:25, which means a year. Of the
"time" at Daniel 12:7, Strong's Concordance says:

H4150 מועדה    מעד    מועד mô‛êd mô‛êd mô‛âdâh mo-ade', mo-ade', mo-aw-daw' From H3259; properly an
appointment, that is, a fixed time or season; specifically a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an
assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of meeting;
also a signal (as appointed beforehand): - appointed (sign, time), (place of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set,
solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season, solemn (-ity), synagogue, (set) time (appointed).

Here we see that this particular period of 1260 days is set to happen at an appointed time determined by God and
to last for 42 appointed months. The angel Gabriel then gave Daniel a specific number of days after the end of
that time period when they could expect to reach the full expectation of their faith:

"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up,
there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
-Daniel 12:11,12
